ABSTRACTThe electronic structure of organic and inorganic polymeric systems are well described in terms of their molecular symmetry, even with the large bond polarity shown by such systems as polyphosphazenes. We have performed calculations using the semi-empirical CNDO/1 method to determine the valence electronic structure for a series of model phosphonitrilic and organic compounds. The optical transition energies for phosphonitrilic compounds are greater than their organic counterparts as a result of in-plane π’ bonding interactions. The extent of these interactions is modulated by the electronegativity of the substituent groups on the phosphorus atoms. We report values for the vertical ionization energy and electronic absorption wavelengths, and use molecular orbital contour analysis to show the effects of ligand electronegativity on the π’ network.

The electronic transition energies and ionization potentials of formaldehyde have been calculated by a semi-empirical molecular orbital method, using several different ways of evaluating the diagonal matrix elements, in an attempt to adapt the Pariser–Parr–Pople method to the calculation of σ electron properties. The use of theoretically computed penetration integrals in this semi-empirical calculation lead to incorrect relative separation of the π-, σ-, and nonbonding molecular orbital energies, and hence to failure in predicting n →π* and n → σ* transition energies. A method is developed which reproduces the spectrum of formaldehyde (which includes n–π*, π–π*, and n–σ* electronic transitions) satisfactorily. In paper II of this series, this method is applied to study the spectrum of HCN and CO2.

The correlations between the electronic spectral properties of the title azo compounds and organic solvent parameters have been analysed also, their electronic transition energies have been calculated, using a semi empirical approach and the results were compared with the experimental measurements.

We describe the use of the semi-empirical molecular orbital method PM3 (parametric method 3) to study the electronic structure of iron–sulphur proteins. We first develop appropriate parameters to describe models of the redox site of rubredoxins, followed by some preliminary calculations of multinuclear iron systems of relevance to hydrogenases.
